DisplayLink Windows 7 64-bit not showing USB Display Adapter

Yes, it looks like the device is not appearing on the Windows USB bus. This would be more a hardware problem, as the software cannot see a device to talk to. This thread should help debug the issue:

Thanks. I followed all the advice in that thread but still do not see my display adapter in the Device Manager. So does that mean it's likely the DisplayLink hardware that's failed?

There is something wrong with the USB connection preventing it appearing in device manager. I would try it on a different computer with a different USB cable before confirming it is a DisplayLink hardware fault.
